Because they change the behavior of Emacs depending on, for example,
whether the working file differs from the repository file.
Only if you use VC commands, as far as I know.
VC, however, uses metadata that most programs are not aware of. This
can make a program that is deterministic when VC is not loaded
nondeterministic when it is loaded.
Can you explain concretely what you mean?

That's clearly not true, for some value of "does anything": VC
installs hooks which are called for various file and buffer
operations.
I don't follow you.
